Best Bubble Toys for Babies and Toddlers

For babies and toddlers, bubbles offer “a multi-sensory and magical experience that fascinates children,” explains Sarah Liebenrood and Rebecca Gasiewicz Thiemann, teachers, play experts and creators of the kindergarten prep book, Kindergarten Ready Through Play. So we rounded up the bubble toys that are perfect for babies and toddlers to play with.

Incorporating bubbles into your little one’s playtime is more than just a bit of mesmerizing fun. It turns out they also provide a number of developmental benefits, including visual and sensorimotor stimulation, cause-and-effect learning opportunities and emotional regulation (there’s just something so calming about watching them float higher and higher).

From no-spill machines to musical bubble wands, here are our favorite bubble toys for babies and toddlers—and if we’re being honest, you’ll might just enjoy them too!

Best Bubble Maker for Babies

Bubbles are magical, especially for babies. But some bubble machines can be a little too loud or startling for little ones. These gentle, baby-friendly picks keep things fun without being too overwhelming, making them perfect for baby’s first bubble experience.

Best No Spill Bubble Makers

Babies and toddlers are no strangers to thrills and spills (in more ways than one), but that’s what makes these bubble machines so special. Even if they tip it over, the no-spill design ensures there’s no leaks, spurts or sticky messes to be had.

Best Bubbles They Can Blow Themselves

Is your little one ready to give blowing their own bubbles a try? Then a no-spill container is a game changer. Even if your toddler doesn’t mean to, bubbles have a way of spilling everywhere. These innovative tumblers are designed to keep the bubble solution inside, even when knocked over or tipped upside down. Most come with about four ounces of bubble solution but you can also get a large jug to refill once they’re all gone, meaning they’ll last a while.

Best Musical Bubble Wand

Bubbles and music are an elite combo. Here are a few bubble wands that blow their own bubbles while playing a tune. And by design, they’re also spill-proof, which is also a win.

Best Bubble Makers for Pretend Play

For the toddler set, pretend play (imitating parents or mimicking something they’ve seen in real-life with their own, miniature props) is huge. So, if you want to find a bubble toy that will truly blow their minds, look no further than these fun picks.
